As I wrote on my site a while back, every good writer has to be a good reader. Put in the work reading today, and the writing tomorrow will get that much better.

Perhaps the most mind boggling aspect of modern social politics is this talking point that politicians and people with extraordinary amounts of wealth “hate the establishment”. Politics, at its core, is a game of power, money, and consolidation-mix and match however you want. Normal people agree in that we don’t like it-said people with extraordinary amounts of money don’t typically benefit us. But politicians saying it means they don’t like the competition that the establishment brings, competition that is inevitably healthy for protecting our interests in the long run.
The UK is not a project, it’s not an experiment, it’s not a corporation.

Walk good, literary genius.

@DemocraticWins Man (along with other Dems) refuses to acknowledge that the deliberate chaos in federal agencies is meant to transition public sector work to private sector, the defining characteristic of late-stage capitalism. Good luck finding any regulations that actually benefit you soon.
The only thing worse than living in a soon-to-be autocracy is Cashman letting Soto, perhaps the most stable investment in the history of baseball, walk into an increasingly autocractic free agent market.
Be a rich dude and do your job.
